Darren Soto shut down the IRS, hurting Florida taxpayers

October 14, 2025

Because of out of touch Democrat Darren Soto’s shutdown, the IRS halted key taxpayer services. Refunds, audits, and phone lines are stalled — leaving families and small businesses in limbo. Taxpayers pay Washington to work, not to shut down.

“Darren Soto’s reckless shutdown proves Democrats don’t care about working families footing the bill. They broke the government and expect you to pay for it.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
